Rilo Kiley’s audiences have a strong tendency to fall in
love on the spot. Perhaps it’s their beaming faces or
laid-back, admirable West Coast attitudes. Or maybe it’s
just their uncanny knack for designing nuanced pop songs
and performing them with flair. Maybe it’s lead singers
Jenny Lewis and Blake Sennet‘s adorable onstage banter and
scissors-sharp wit. Whatever that little something extra
is, Los Angeles, CA’s Rilo Kiley has it times ten.

Eclectic electric twang meets masterful songwriting on The
Execution of All Things, Rilo Kiley’s second full-length
album. Take Offs and Landings, their 2001 debut on
Seattle’s infamous Barsuk label, was met with adoration
from critics and audiences alike. With Liz Phair narrative
sensibility, Bettie Serveert compositional More...

    Review about Rilo Kiley

    who can really tell us how to keep the mistery | Reviewer: all
        ------ About the song Portions for Foxes performed by Rilo Kiley

    i love this song
    i guess everybody has been in this situation at list once ...
    its weird because who can really tell us how to keep the mistery or when we can be just us or open up...this is complicated


    It's not about interpretation | Reviewer: Ginger
        ------ About the song A Better Son/Daughter performed by Rilo Kiley

    I think this song just sends out a positive message in general. It's helped me just fight on through things. As long as it's a positive influence to me, I don't care what the "true meaning" is.

    It's a great song for those suffering for any kind of chronic illness, not just depression.


    Wrongo | Reviewer: Anne
        ------ About the song A Better Son/Daughter performed by Rilo Kiley

    The song is about getting over and through with anything that would keep you from ultimately bing that "better son/daughter"(or person seeing as everyone is a son or daughter to someone). Such as addictions, depression, or just simply changing into the person you want to be.


    I interpreted the song a bit differently | Reviewer: Anonymous
        ------ About the song A Better Son/Daughter performed by Rilo Kiley

    This song isn't about some bright light at the end of depression. It's talking about feeling horrible but having to pretend to be happy only to hide your real feelings. It's talking about having a fucked up life but having to smile to your friends and go to work smiling. To me, the line "you'll fake it if you have to" clearly shows that when she says "You'll be happy" it's just fake.

    This whole song SCREAMS having to carry on life even if you're having a horrible time and still needing to be what everyone expects of you.

    I absolutely love this song; I don't know if I've ever heard a more amazing interpretation of life.


    great song srsly | Reviewer: jenny.
        ------ About the song Glendora performed by Rilo Kiley

    this is really one of the greatest songs ever.
    i can so relate to it.
    i've been playing it out for the past few days.
    every line of it amazingly written.
    "it ain't the resy, WHY DO YOU jenny?"
    why do you is so perfect.
    the whole song is perfect.
    "I cry, cry, cry, then I complain
    Come back for more, do it again"
    amazing.
    <3


    Amazing | Reviewer: GBrittany
        ------ About the song It's A Hit performed by Rilo Kiley

    She does not say "if she breaks a smile she'll give you away." She sayysss blinks or smiles..i don't know that bothered me,haha. But, this song is simply genious and the message to it is percise. Probably one of my favorite songs out of all!


    This song is partially about | Reviewer: christine
        ------ About the song A Better Son/Daughter performed by Rilo Kiley

    The beginning of the first verse is about sleep paralysis. (also probably a metaphor) I read that somewhere, and I experience sleep paralysis about once a week. it sucks, and that is an accurate description of it.


    BAD bad news | Reviewer: Anonymous
        ------ About the song Portions for Foxes performed by Rilo Kiley

    the first time i heard this song i cried because it exactly described the relationship i was currently in, and i was so saddened by the fact that it was happening to me. but then i listened to the song again and i realized that that's just how it is but hey i like him and it's ok. this song is amazing and i think it can speak to many souls.


    , | Reviewer: buzzedddddddd
        ------ About the song Pictures of Success performed by Rilo Kiley

    California IS a recipe for a black hole, especially for younger people living here. I live in san diego and it's so easy to get caught up in drugs and alcohol especially living so close to the international border? everyone's a pothead or a crackhead, they shoot heroin, whatever. everything's so easy to get and everyone has a hook up whether they know it or not. you spend so much money on liquor and bud and whatever you can get your hands on that you don't have enough money for anything else. i mean, people use their paycheck to pay their rent first but then after that all their money goes to fucking anything that can alter their state of mind. i mean i'm drunk as it is and im 17 years old and its a school night. if you're 18 you can just go across the border and its legal to bring over 2 bottles of sealed liquor!!! otherwise some of us are forced into desperate measures like dramamine or sudafed (the pseudo kind mmmm). anything to escape this fucking reality that we're going to have to grow up someday, you know? and its possible and even socially acceptable to live your whole live this way!!! in san diego at least. whatever...


    "You guys are gay" - You are, unfortunately, retarded =D | Reviewer: Vicky
        ------ About the song A Better Son/Daughter performed by Rilo Kiley

    What do you think most depressives want? TO GET BETTER YOU FUCKTARD.

    She's basically talking about being depressed, and how it can feel like, and then how you're going to be a better person when you come through it all.


    shut up | Reviewer: you guys are gay
        ------ About the song A Better Son/Daughter performed by Rilo Kiley

    wow. "i'm depressed" shut the fuck up. she's just trying to say that she wants to be better in a life that it's hard to live. so all of you stop slitting your wrists. appreciate the music. and be happy for what you've got. because that's what this song is about making things better. and not being fucking depressed douche bags. great. thanks. love ya. BYE.


    bipolar | Reviewer: Anonymous
        ------ About the song A Better Son/Daughter performed by Rilo Kiley

    that song isn't about depression... entirely. its about being bipolar i think. and when things are good.. they're really good. the second stanza of the song is all about a fit of mania.. which is fun...but it can be destructive. its not something people look forward to really. the end is talking about trying to hang on to that mania even though she knows shes sinking back into depression.. she knows that she is going to lose the battle... so she'll "go out fighting all of them"...


    Portions for Jenny lewis | Reviewer: Addison
        ------ About the song Portions for Foxes performed by Rilo Kiley

    everyone does sex, smokes, drinks and other stuff. You just tend to do it with a person you like, who doesn't like you back. this has been a problem for people since the pre-historic ages. So what if he is her sex-buddy or just her normal crush, we all have sex-buddies and crushes. Jenny Lewis was just the only to admit in something meaningful, more meaningful then

    "HEY HEY YOU YOU I DON'T LIKE YOUR GIRLFRIEND, NO WAY NO WAY I THINK YOU NEED A NEW ONE."

    She sings like it is, no teen crap about heartbreak and crying after your gone like Hannah Montana and the JoBro's, the talking leads to touching and touching leads to sex and then there is no mystery left pretty much is true and explains\sums life today.


    Beautiful song | Reviewer: Kat
        ------ About the song A Better Son/Daughter performed by Rilo Kiley

    This song really speaks to me. My boyfriend is clinically depressed and so am I, though I try so so hard to be happy for him and try to show him the bright side of life, coupled with the fact that my dad never loved or wanted me, so I really feel like this song ties into my life. If I'm going down, I'm going down fighting.



    meaning | Reviewer: dina
        ------ About the song Portions for Foxes performed by Rilo Kiley

    it's funny to read some other people's interpretation of the song because i thought it was really straight forward. She has this fuck buddy and she's worried that she's bad for him, but then she realizes that it's ok because he's bad for her also. So really they aren't bad for each other, just in a mutually casual, fun relationship. And maybe they are both kind of messed up, but it doesn't matter, because we all end up the same way in the end (portions for foxes) and life's too short to not enjoy each other.


    good song | Reviewer: molly
        ------ About the song Portions for Foxes performed by Rilo Kiley

    I think a lot of us can relate to this song. You truly care about someone who treats you like you are just another thing that happened to them. Your friends think its bad for you to be with them but you dont care because you like them. I love this song.


    Someone needed to comment this song, so... | Reviewer: Matt
        ------ About the song A Better Son/Daughter performed by Rilo Kiley

    This is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard, the lyrics explain misery and pain, and the happiness that might just lie at the end. It's just a gorgeous song.


    Artistic | Reviewer: Rilo Lover
        ------ About the song Does He Love You? performed by Rilo Kiley

    Rilo Kiley is a fantastic band and this is one of their best songs. Jenny's voice is unique and the lyrics are beautiful. This song is like an art piece, it evokes emotion by tying your heart strings into knots. This is an amazing song!


    huh? | Reviewer: molly
        ------ About the song Dejalo performed by Rilo Kiley

    what does de jalo mean?
    nuestra means our and cosa means thing (in spanish)but I have no clue what de jalo means,help please.


    simply incredible. | Reviewer: Anonymous
        ------ About the song A Man/Me/Then Jim performed by Rilo Kiley

    so sad. just reading the lyrics ((you should see how teary i got when i first really listened to the lyrics)) makes me so sad. especially the part about the telemarketer. beautiful. rilo kiley is so amazing, the way they don't talk about love, but how messy it is, when there's divorce and another woman and custody battles. it's remarkable.
